ASHDOWN, Ark.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Domtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) announced that trained
volunteers from the company’s pulp and paper manufacturing mill in
Ashdown, AR, and the local business community, will visit Ashdown
Public Schools on April 21 and May 12 to teach the Junior Achievement
curriculum to students in grades 2-8. A Fortune 500 company, Domtar
makes a wide variety of everyday products from sustainable wood fiber,
such as copy paper and diapers. Domtar’s pulp and paper mill in Ashdown
employs nearly 850 people in the local community.

“It’s exciting to be able to
reach more than 600 students in just two days, with lessons that help
them understand fundamental economic principles, the importance of
staying in school and teamwork, and the role of businesses, government,
and individuals in our community.”

In an effort funded by Domtar’s Ashdown mill, a total of 30 volunteers
from the mill and local business community were trained to teach the Junior
Achievement curriculum, an economic education program that provides
students with the knowledge and skills needed to own their economic
success—with a focus on work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial
literacy. Volunteers will spend the day with students on the following
days:

“Our employees’ work with Junior Achievement is a great example of how
you can build that important bridge between the workplace, the
classroom, and the community,” said Tammy Waters, Domtar Manager,
Communications & Government Relations. “It’s exciting to be able to
reach more than 600 students in just two days, with lessons that help
them understand fundamental economic principles, the importance of
staying in school and teamwork, and the role of businesses, government,
and individuals in our community.”

Domtar provides all funding for the Junior Achievement program in the
Ashdown Public Schools. One of the largest Junior Achievement efforts in
the state, Domtar has partnered with the non-profit organization since
1997. Domtar’s Junior Achievement work began with second graders, adding
one grade level each year until 2002—teaching students through the
eighth grade. Last year, instead of teaching over the course of multiple
days, mill volunteers piloted “JA In A Day,” covering the entire
curriculum in a single day. The new format was so well-received that the
schools requested it be done again this year.

“We’re tremendously proud of Domtar’s commitment to the students of
Ashdown Public Schools,” said Chad Kauffman, President at Junior
Achievement of Arkansas. “Our twenty-year partnership with Domtar is a
model we hold up for other businesses that want to make long-term
investments in the young people that will shape the future of their
communities.”
